Test Drive - October/November

[d3mods]

You wake up... in your bed or wherever you went to sleep because your character is exactly where you left them. A revival of the classic LJ/DW game DramaDramaDuck (DDD), D3 is an attempt to capture the spirit of the classic with some adjustments. The name, and the names of many parts of the game, pays homage to the original while allowing it to be something different as I'm not a founder of the original. I just had fun there and thought it sounded fun now.

An Open Lid game, as opposed to a JamJar; your characters remain in their canon worlds and timelines but can access a magical network to connect to other canon's universes. You, with the help of your castmates should you have them, decide how they experience shape your remaining canon, even if it means nothing changes at all.

Welcome to the D3 test drive. Prompts are sparse because this is the game where you make the story. Some optional suggestions are:

A. Hit by an infection

Like it says on the label. Your character has been hit by one of the monthly infections that take place on the network. This particular infection shouldn't alter the personality too much if you're planning to use it as a sample. For more information on infections, read the faq found here.

B. Canon update

Something happen at home you want to share? Or don't want to share, but the network is showing anyway?

C. A call to arms

Trouble is brewing, and you need help? You have worlds full of superheroes to ask for help. That doesn't always mean they can reach you...


That's the down and dirty. Not quite as fancy as you're used to seeing, huh? D3 is a simple game. Or it's not. It's up to you, the player, to make your experience. There will also be a log community so you can do face-to-face meet ups, and anyone can go off-world this time.

To perhaps capture the group game feeling that differentiates D3 from memes, consider noting whether you're open to threadjacks with a subject line like so:

Character | Canon | Open/Not Open to threadjack

We recommend you read the following to help you along:

FAQ → Rules → Reserves → Taken
Reserves will open for the first time on October 1st and apps will follow October 7th. After they open, they'll remain open instead of having cycles.

Somnus Lucis Caelum.

[how does video work in ring dimension. fuck if somnus has any godsdamned idea.]

You do not yet possess the resolve. And you most assuredly do not hold within you the power you would require to have averted any of this. The young king made a decision as befits a ruler, and this was what was deemed the best outcome of the situation. Had you remained in the capital, then you would be dead and all would be for naught.

[ Who knows how any of this works? ]

What'd you say?

[ As insulting as the last delivery is, it's the name that catches his attention. ]

What kind of stupid joke is that? Who are you?

[encelevenemus]

Precisely who I claimed to be, young prince. The Mystic, or if you prefer, Founder King of Lucis. Speaking to you through whatever mad sorcery we classify this network as.

[brotrips]

I tell you my kingdom fell, my dad is dead, and you think this is funny?! What kind of joke is that?!

[ It's not impossible. Considering the nature of this odd place, it's very possible. In spite of this, Noctis's mood is already tilted toward anger.

And he already feels like a failure. Like he can't be the king he's suddenly supposed to be. Having the founder say as much... ]

You wouldn't know anything about me.
